Rigenerato è stylish!

Girovagando per Etsy in cerca di nuovi filati per il mio negozietto mi sono imbattuta in questo negozio LondonHandspun.
Gigi è un'artista di grande talento, nonchè una persona deliziosa. Il suo negozio è specializzato in fibre particolari, rustiche come piace a me, e veramente originali. Tra le sete reciclate, la juta, la canapa e molto ancora ho trovato questo!

Etsywandering in search of new yarns for my little store I came across this shop: LondonHandspun.
Gigi is an artist of great talent and a delightful person. Her shop specializes in particular fiber, the way I like rustic, and very original. Among recycled silk, jute, hemp and more I found this!


Si tratta di jeans reciclati e rigenerati.
Al tatto è proprio come il jeans: secco e asciutto. Tiene la temperatura senza scaldare troppo in ambienti caldi ed è... sorprendentemente elastico!

These is jeans recycled and reclaimed.
The touch is just like the jeans: dry. It keeps the temperature without bore you and is ... surprisingly stretchy!


Ho lavorato a maglia questo semplicissimo cappello in un paio d'ore.
